Answer 2

Answer: The profit is $3300

Explanation:

The data we have is:

They charge $40 per hour.

In january, the charged for 200 hours.

The expenses are:

rent $4000

electricity $325

advertising $375

if we want to know the balance we must calculate:

The total expenses are: $4000 + $325 + $375 = $4700

The amount that they won is: $40*200 = $8000

Then the profit will be:

P = $40*200 - ($4000 + $325 + $375) = $8000 - $4700 = $3300
